Underscore.js _.toDash() Method

The _.toDash() method is used to convert a camel case string to a dashed string.

Syntax:

_.toDash( camelCaseString);

Parameters:

• toDash: This method takes a camel Case String to convert.

Return Value: This method returns a converted dashed string.

Note: This will not work in normal JavaScript because it requires the underscore.js contrib library to be installed.

underscore.js contrib library can be installed using npm install underscore-contrib –save.

Example 1:

javascript

// Defining underscore contrib variable
const _ = require('underscore-contrib');

let dashst = _.toDash("geeksForGeeks");

console.log("The converted Dashed String is :", dashst);

Output:

The converted Dashed String is : geeks-for-geeks

Example 2:

javascript

// Defining underscore contrib variable
const _ = require('underscore-contrib');

let dashst = _.toDash("aBC");

console.log("The converted Dashed String is :", dashst);

Output:

The converted Dashed String is : a-b-c
